इयं ब्रह्मांडपिण्डस्य स्थाने तस्मिन्प्रकीर्तिता । तत्रास्ते शुक्लतीर्थाख्यं रेवायां पापनाशनम्
iyaṃ brahmāṃḍapiṇḍasya sthāne tasminprakīrtitā | tatrāste śuklatīrthākhyaṃ revāyāṃ pāpanāśanam
Lokus suci ini diisytiharkan sebagai “tempat Brahmāṇḍa (telur kosmik) dan Piṇḍa (mikrokosmos jasmani)”; dan di sana, di sungai Revā, terdapat tīrtha bernama Śukla-tīrtha, pemusnah dosa.
Sūta (continuing the māhātmya narration)
Tirtha: Śukla-tīrtha
Type: ghat
Listener: Arjuna (Pārtha)
Scene: A sacred river-spot is revealed as a cosmic axis: above, an egg-shaped brahmāṇḍa radiance; below, a human figure (piṇḍa) mirrored; the riverbank bears a marker naming ‘Śukla-tīrtha’.
A tīrtha is not merely geographic: it is a cosmic ‘seat’ where macrocosm and microcosm correspond, making purification (pāpa-nāśa) especially potent.
Śukla-tīrtha on the Revā (Narmadā).
Implied tīrtha-sevā and snāna at Śukla-tīrtha for pāpa-nāśa (sin-destruction).
